Tonart: D major
Verse 1
C
Dm
I was raised on a Jesus, who was white and prestigious,
Am
C
said he never would leave our little country behind
Dm
Said the pledge of allegiance, said I’d never smoke weed,
C
and that my bible I’d read it when I couldn’t decide
Dm
But the sermons were telling me, Hell was a felony,
C
and Heaven’s the guilty plea that keeps me alive
Dm
So my friend went and shot himself, the Jesus he asked for help,
C
was probably somewhere else said, "Son get in line"

and named after Muskogean words to describe

We hijack the narrative, say that it’s heritage,

tell them how good it is that history’s White
Dm
Leave out the stolen land, re place it with Dixieland,
F
C
and everyone claps their hands and sings its delight
Dm
You can face it or just forget, I ask for a cigarette,
F
C
you hand me the silhouette smoking a pipe
